What's Not To Love?

I just want to throw away to get me through today Nothing real to hold on to, nothing meant to stay Only till the sun comes up then cast down on the wave Yeah, I just want to throw away to get me through today. I don't need no fairy tales, I just want a start A footstep on the lowest rung, a patch on this old heart Won't you put a compass in my hand, and send me on my way Cause I just want to throw away to get me through today. Built a house on Lovers Lane and now it's fallen down Couldn't stand against the wind and built on shaky ground All I was, I was for her, now since she went away Would you deny a throwaway, or to help me through today. Could be some way down the line before a day will come When I have faith enough to say, hey, this could be the one Till the end of winter comes and the gold kicks through the grey I just want to throw away to help me through today To help me through today.
